Gentlemen, another new week is upon us. Mine begins with a little work travel to Atlanta. So, I'm featuring a travel setup. It consists of my Ern Ator, some Jabonman, and a Wee Scot.
OMG! How amazing this soap is! DR Harris' tallow-based Lavender Soap Bowl.
I had forgotten how lush and rich these tallow soaps were! This totally blew me away, with such thick lather. Only a one day beard growth, and the dense, fatty Harris lather totally coated the stubble. Only two passes were needed to get to a buttery smooth, clean result. Prepped with Maggard's lavender preshave oil. Lathered with the soft and absorbent Kent BK8 silvertip. Shaved with EJ 87 and Gillette Silver Blue blade, which at the first pass, I realized was not fully tightened down, and fixed after that. Afterwards, cool water rinse and alum block swipe. Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet aftershave splash, plus a dab of AOS Lavender AS balm Topped off with Penhaligon's Endymion EDT. Wonderful!!
